A Generous Exposition chords by Onsind

Intro:

A F#m E B F#m A C#m


Verse:
B              F#m
 It’s raining again,
       A                         C#            B
and it seems like this city gets drearier everyday,
                 F#m
Perhaps it’s the weather
              A
or maybe I’ve been here too long,
          C#m
still I defiantly stay,
         B                   F#m
And they build more upmarket riverside housing,
               A
when there are streets down the road
        C#m
with no people to fill.
  B                  F#m                A             C#m
A regional hub of prosperity committing character suicide,
            D#m                  E        F#
and there’s not a lot more of it left to kill.

Chorus:
B             F#     B    G#    F#   E                     B F#
They won’t be happy until every city centre looks the same,
B          F#          B    G#  F# A
Helplessly trapped within homogeneity,
                                E
I want to tell them they should be ashamed,
                        B
but I’m not sure who to blame,

B F#m A C#m


Verse:
    B                F#m
You know the day’s a write off
              A           C#m                  B
when even the Durham advertiser is getting you down,
                        F#m
some local kid just got beat to death
         A                     C#m
drinking with his friends at a club in town,
       B        F#m
and is this the price we pay?
         A           C#m
Was he a worthy sacrifice to make?
        B                       F#m
I’m not gonna leave the fucking house today,
          A                    C#m
I’ll just stare at the ceiling,
                     D#m           E   F#
I’ll just lie on the cold, cold ground.


Chorus:
B             F#     B    G#    F#   E                     B F#
They won’t be happy until every city centre looks the same,
B          F#          B    G#  F# A
Helplessly trapped within homogeneity,
                                E
I want to tell them they should be ashamed,
                        A       E
but I’m not sure who to blame,


Outro:
C#m B A E

(palm mute) C#m A E x4
C#m A E                   C#m
        One more metre of concrete,
A E                           C#m
  One more local shop closed down,
A E                         C#m
    No matter how much they change it,
E                 C#m
This is still our town.
A E                   C#m
   One more metre of concrete,
A E                           C#m
  One more local shop closed down,
A E                         C#m
    No matter how much they change it,
E                 C#m  A
This is still our town.
